SHIPPING INSECTIGIDE-CQNTAINER SPRAY GUN.

Application filed September 13; 1926, Serial No. 135,097. Renewed July 29, 1827.

The invention has for its primary object the provision of a unitary structure for marketing a liquid insecticide and admitting of the purchaser usin the device for spraying the insecticide in t e accustomed Way.

The invention furthermore aims to supply a device embodying a container and, spra gun which may be marketed with the container filled with a liquid insecticide and sealed to prevent the escape of the contents, thereby supplying to the trade a combined spray gun and filled container at a cost sllghtly in excess of either when purchased singly, besides insuring both being at hand whenlt is required to distribute the insecticide.

The invention also aims to supply a combined shipping container and spray gun for a liquid insecticide having bodies formed from a single blank of sheet metal so connected as to mutually strengthen and brace each other.

While the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements, the design may be varied and such other changes 1n the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and the drawin s hereto attached, in which,-

igure 1 is a perspective view of a combined shipping container and spray gun for a liquid insecticide embodying the invent on.

Flgure 2 is a vertical, central, longitudinal sectional view of the device.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional v1ew on the line 3-3 of Figure 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail sectional v1ew of portions of the bodies of the container and spray gun, showing the intermediate connection.

Figure 5 is an enlarged detail sectlonal view of the delivery end of the spray gun, showing more clearly the closure for the delivery, or spray tube, and

Figure 6 is a detail view of the blank from which the bodies of the container and spray gun are formed, including the intermediate connection, the dotted lines indicating the creases or. folds.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following descri nated 1n the several views 0 like reference characters.

tion and desigthe drawings by The numeral 1 designates the body of the y drical form and closed at opposite ends, one

of which has a filling opening which is closed by means of a screw cap 2. A baffle 13 is located a short distance from the delivery end of the container and forms a chamber 4; which is adapted to hold a secticide so that the device may be successfully used in an elevated positlon after the contents have been partly drawn off from the container 1. The delivery, or spray tube 5, passes through the delivery end of the contamer l and terminates a short distance from the bottom of the chamber 4.

The body of the spray gun is designated by the numeral 6 and the same is preferably of cylindrical form and of a length coextensive With the container 1. The body 6 is closed at both ends, the delivery end having a small opening 8 for the discharge of a blast of air, whereby the liquid insecticide is drawn from the container 1 through the tube 5 and delivered in the form of a spray in a manner Well understood. A piston 7 located within the body 6 is adapted to be reciprocated therein by means of a rod 9 which passes through an openlng in the end of the gun opposite that provided with the air outlet 8. The tube 5 has an end portion extending along the delivery end of the spray gun and terminatin adjacent the air outlet 8 to admit of the jet 0 air discharged through the outlet 8 passing across the extremity of the tube, whereby to effect a delivery of the insecticide in the form of a spray.

The bodies of the container 1 and spray gun 6 are united by an intermediate tion 10 and the several parts are formed from a single blank substantially as shown in Figure 6. The part 10 is provided with folds 11 and reverse folds 12 beyond the folds 11. The folds 11 provide pockets which face in the same direction and receive marginal edge portions of the blank after the same has been rolled to provide the cylindrical bodies corresponding to the parts 1 and 6. The edge portions of the blank, after being inserted within the folds 11, are made secure by solder, or in any other preferred way common in the sheet metal art. The edge portions are offset, as indicated at 13, to correspond with the quantity of a liquid inconnecfolds 12 so that the inner walls' of the cylindrical body and smooth. nated generally b the numeral 1t and is of a rectangular out ine, and the several folds corresponding to the parts 11, 12 and 13 are indicated by the dotted lines in Flgure 6.

The delivery end of the spray tube 5 is internally threaded and receives the threaded portion 15 of a closure 16. A milled head 17 is formed upon the outer end of the closure 16 and the inner end of the closure is reduced, as indicated at 18, to provide in effect a needle valve for sealing the tube 5. The closure 16 consistsof a short rod or stem, and is connected to the device by means of a short chain 19, or other suitable connection to revent loss or misplacement of the closure, w en removed from the tube 5.

It is observed that the container 1 1s supplied with the liquid insecticide and. escape thereof is prevented by applying the cap 2 to the filling openin and the closure 16 to the delivery end of t e spray tube 5, thereby admitting of the device being shipped and marketed in condition for instant use by the purchaser.v it is observed that the container and the spray gun are always at hand for instant use, without liability of misplacement, as frequently occurs when the gun and container consist-of separate parts. llhe part 10, besides formin connecting means between the two cylindrical bodies, serves to reinforce and brace the same. The container also serves as a convenient handle when using the device for spra ing the insecticide. When the container 1 olds a small quantity of insecticide,'it may be tilted to supply the till chamber 4, thereby admitting of the device being elevated when it is required to deliver a spray at an elevation, as is frequently necessary.
